Comparable clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients undergoing endovascular treatment for aorto-iliac or femoropopliteal lesions.

ABSTRACT: Lower extremity peripheral arterial disease is usually a consequence of advanced atherosclerosis, leading to high mortality and morbidity. Although clinical characteristics and outcomes may differ among patients having peripheral disease in different arterial territories, contemporary data are scarce. From January 2019 to December 2022, this multicenter registry study included 712 patients undergoing endovascular treatment (EVT) for either aorto-iliac (AI) or femoropopliteal (FP) lesions. Patient characteristics and outcomes were compared between AI-EVT and FP-EVT groups. Clinical endpoints included major adverse cardiovascular events, major adverse limb events (MALE), and all-cause mortality, stratified by chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). Of the 712 patients, 217 (30.5%) and 495
